    Fragile Gods: Ceramic Figurines in Roman Britain Volume 1 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology, University of Reading Matthew G. Fittock December 2017 Declaration I certify that this is my own work and that use of material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged in the text. I have read the University’s definition of plagiarism and the department’s advice on good academic practice. I understand that the consequence of committing plagiarism, if proven and in the absence of mitigating circumstances, may include failure in the Year or Part or removal from the membership of the University. I also certify that neither this piece of work, nor any part of it, has been submitted in connection with another assessment. Signature: Date: i Abstract As small portable forms of statuary, pipeclay objects provide a valuable insight into the religious beliefs and practices of the culturally mixed populations of the Roman provinces. This thesis provides a complete catalogue of the nearly 1000 published and unpublished pipeclay objects found in Britain, including figurines, busts, shrines, animal vessels and masks. This research is the first study of this material conducted since the late 1970s. Pipeclay objects were made in Gaul and the Rhine-Moselle region but not in Britain. Attention thus focuses on where and how the British finds were made by analysing their styles, types, fabrics and any makers’ marks. This reveals how the pipeclay market in Britain was supplied and how these objects were traded, and suggests that cultural rather than production and trade factors were more influential on pipeclay consumption in Britain.

  • Alistair Barclay Wessex Archaeology
    South East Research Framework resource assessment seminar Ceramics of the south-east: new directions Alistair Barclay Wessex Archaeology Introduction The South East region contains a complete ceramic sequence, although overall the distribution of various ceramic styles is varied, with marked concentrations along the coastal regions of Sussex and Kent, and along the corridor of the Thames (Surrey). Since the 1990s the impact of developer funded archaeology has added significantly to the number of known assemblages, although the distribution of the new material tends to reflect those areas that have seen most development. In this respect it is not surprising that considerable new assemblages have been found in parts of Kent where there have been major infrastructure projects. The Channel Tunnel Rail Link (CTRL), for example, which passes through the Medway Valley (an area with major groups of monuments) and then crosses the North Downs dip slope to the coast (an area devoid of Neolithic monuments) (see Ashbee 2004, 11), has produced 11 assemblages of earlier prehistoric pottery. Notable sites include Sandway Road, Cobham, Tutt Hill, Whitehill Road, Beechbrook Wood and Saltwood Tunnel (Barclay and Edwards 2007), and the dry valley at White Horse Stone/Pilgrim’s Way (see Hayden this web site). Important too is the discovery of sites under colluvium, perhaps the most significant of which are White Horse Stone with its early Neolithic buildings, late Neolithic stake and post circles and multiple pit deposits, and Holywell Coombe with its Beaker settlement. Developer-funded projects have also added a number of new causewayed enclosures to areas of Kent, notably on the Isle of Sheppey (Kingsborough Farm) and at Ramsgate (Healy, this web site; Lievers, this web site).
